2019 Matchbook Cabernet is a showcase of the quality fruit grown in the red gravel soils of Dunnigan Hills. The best barrel lots were chosen for the final blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Malbec and 8% Petit Verdot. We pumped the tanks over several times a day until nearly dry, then pressed and aged the wine in a combination of French, Hungarian and American oak barrels for 12 months. We used a combination of specially selected yeast to enhance color and flavor extraction without harsh tannins. It maintains a velvety texture on the palate and through the lingering finish. Like the 2016 vintage, on the nose theres aromas of tobacco, eucalyptus.
Made from 75 Cabernet Sauvignon, 23 Petit Verdot, and 2 Malbec, this wine was aged in French, Hungarian, and American oak barrels for 12 months.
The estate grown grapes were gently crushed and fermented in small temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks. This wine blends subtle spices with rich fruit for a seductive flavor profile. To learn about their history, read my article 'A Brief History of Matchbook Wine Company'. The dense flavors surround the tannins for a finish that is well-structured and smooth. Plush flavors of blackberry, vanilla, deep red fruit and olive tapenade are rich and mouth-coating. The wine opens with the beautiful varietal aromas of mocha, leather and toasty oak. The 2019 Matchbook Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown entirely in our Dunnigan Hills vineyards. Matchbook Dunnigan Hills Cabernet displays wonderful blackberry, and dark fruits, with an extremely smooth and rich mouthfeel.
